Hello,

For compilation it’s ok except for make check, because you may not know
that under Darwin, wc has a few spaces in front of the result, e.g.

% (echo 1; echo 2; echo 3) | wc -l
        3
%

compared to GNU coreutils:
% (echo 1; echo 2; echo 3) | wc -l
3
%

Therefore, because of ‘wc -l’ in calc.at <http://calc.at/>, many tests fail 
(starting with 414).

Replacing
wc -l
with
wc -l | awk ‘{ print $1 }’ -

(or otherwise) ‘make check’ passes ok.
